ROBOTS...Are we?

"We are so caught up with in our routine that we don't realize, we are not living but merely existing."

There is always a point in our life where all the challenges come to a temporarily halt.Where every morning you get up and wish for a new challenge put up for you but instead you are greeted with the same daily chores and the work to do lists.

We are all one in many who are doing the same old stuff without it really contributing to who we are. Slogging so that your venture makes more money. Putting in extra time at work so that your bosses promote you. Studying till your eyes hurt to that you get good a score. Phew! The list is never ending! And so are our efforts...

But are we ever satisfied? NEVER! I need more of this and I need more of that and the list goes on and on. What about all that you already have as a result of your hard work? When do you enjoy that? I come across a lot of people who say," Once I'm successful and earn a lot of money, only then will I do something for myself." Well, how do you know that your going to be alive that long? Are we so money and success driven that we are ready to live like robots? It's like we are programmed to do certain things and the minute we go out of the set sequence our life goes for a toss. A friend once told me something which is actually really simple to understand but extremely difficult to follow. More so as we are a money-driven lot.

"Having an ambition is great! But getting too involved in it to an extent that you actually forget your goal will never make you happy. You have been so driven by the idea of making money that you have been chasing the wrong thing all this while. Don't run behind money. Work on what makes you happy and the money will eventually follow."

This is a slow process especially for all those who want to make it big and that too really fast. Ask yourself one thing, will you really make it big if you run behind the wrong thing? Don't get me wrong, I am not against people who want to be successful. Believe me I am one of them. But when I look back at the fast few years, I've realized that I had been running behind the wrong thing all this while. And have I made it BIG? NOPE! I'm not even close to it! Do you want to know why? It's simple, I have been existing in this world all this while not really living my life.

It's time to live life and it's never to late to begin!
